Qing Yan needs to calm down. Transmigrating is one thing, but becoming an infant? Is this a joke? When she was three years old, she met a jade-carved little boy. Qing Yan's eyes immediately lit...
Highly recommended:
As dawn broke, carriages appeared at the entrance of the Guangdong-Guangxi naval port. Fei Yanggu and Saito rode at the front, while Yin and his family arrived inside the port.
Yinqi, Yinsi, and Yinwei had just gotten up when Yinhe and his entourage arrived at the door.
"Damn it, how come no one reported that my eldest brother and fourth brother came?" Yin was furious. Logically speaking, Guangdong and Guangxi should be under their control!
"Alright, Ninth Prince, let's pack our things first. Father Emperor probably intends for us to return to the capital!" Yin Si sneered. It seemed that their plans had been discovered by Yin Qi and the others.
"Fifth Brother, what should we do?" Yin knew that if Father Emperor found out about the counterfeit banknotes, he might be imprisoned.
"Let's go greet them first. I heard that Tulichen is also coming!" Yinqi sighed at the end.
Upon hearing the news, Yin Yi burst into laughter, changed into a royal blue casual robe, and ran to the door to greet Yin and the others.
"Fourth Brother, you've finally arrived!" Yin was stunned when he saw the Tenth Brother rushing over. When had the Tenth Brother become so enthusiastic?
Fei Yanggu led everyone to pay their respects to Lao Shi, who quickly waved for them to stand up.
"Tenth Brother, what are you doing..." Yin also felt that the Tenth Brother was being too enthusiastic.
The tenth prince's eyes welled up with tears. Before that, when Yinqi and the others discussed matters, they no longer did so in front of him. From that day on, he was directly excluded from their circle.
The tenth prince was strongly opposed to the counterfeit banknotes. After discovering them, he wanted to stop them. After all, the Emperor was the pillar of the vast Qing Dynasty, and it would be difficult for him if even his sons didn't give him face.
Yinqi and the others, however, seemed to be bewitched, completely disregarding these matters. They followed Yinqi's instigation and carried out their plan in secret. He had seen the copper coins in those silver notes, which were even similar in value to those in the Ministry of Revenue.
"Tenth Brother, it's alright!" Yin patted my back to reassure me.
Yin Yi asked everyone to go to his courtyard first. Inside the study, Yin and his two younger brothers sat down, looking at each other with serious expressions.
"Brother, I'm really about to break down!" After I told Yin Yi about what happened here, Yin and the others all frowned.
"Alright, from now on, Tenth Brother will follow me and your Fourth Brother!" Yin took good care of his younger brother. If it were someone like Yin Yi, he would still want to save him.
"Alright!" Yinyi wanted to leave the side of the Eighth Prince and the others; he needed a peaceful environment.
Yin and Yin were filled with anxiety. If they didn't have solid evidence, they would definitely need to present evidence to their father, the Emperor, otherwise, they would certainly not be able to win the case.
During this time, I also began to investigate. The copper plates were engraved very finely, and even the craftsmen were brought in from the Ministry of Revenue.
These all became evidence, and I, Yin Yi, delivered them directly to Yin. Yin only glanced at them before handing them over to Tu Lichen. Tu Lichen quickly scanned them and found that they were all things that could be put into a secret memorial.
"Tenth Prince, may this servant present this evidence to His Majesty?" Tu Lichen looked at the template in his hand, feeling that this piece of evidence was the most important.
Yinyi was stunned for a moment. If that template were presented, it would definitely enrage Emperor Kangxi.
"Yes, Tulichen, can you plead for Fifth Brother, Eighth Brother, and Ninth Brother?" Yinyi presented the evidence, hoping that Kangxi would show leniency.
"Tenth Master, it's definitely not going to work." Tu Lichen was also in a difficult position.
The Emperor entrusted this matter to him, hoping to uncover the true culprit behind the riots at the military ports of Guangdong and Guangxi.
"Furthermore, that template is related to the Crown Prince!" Yin Yi said in a low voice.
Does this involve the Crown Prince's Palace?!
After he finished speaking, those words came to everyone's minds, and they were all a little worried. Would His Majesty suppress this matter because of the Crown Prince?
"Gentlemen, we have no choice but to hand over all the evidence. If His Majesty decides to suppress it, there's nothing we can do!" Fei Yanggu took a deep breath and said directly.
Yin sighed in frustration, "Now, we can only leave it to fate!"
While everyone was discussing, Yinqi, Yinsi, and Yin were also discussing. The women had already sent the fake silver notes to Linglong Pavilion, and the shopkeepers hadn't even noticed. They were becoming more and more confident in the workmanship of the silver notes and were preparing to manufacture a large number of them.
"Fourth Brother, let's still take precautions. Tu Lichen, if we send this evidence to the capital, how many days will it take to get His Majesty's approval?" Qingyan was uncertain, after all, Linglong Pavilion had suffered a loss of tens of thousands of taels.
Tu Lichen is quick-witted. What is the Fourth Prince's wife planning to do?
“Linglong Pavilion suffered a loss of tens of thousands of taels. If I’m not mistaken, if this hadn’t been discovered, the Eighth Prince’s wife and the Ninth Prince’s concubines would have been even more unscrupulous. Linglong Pavilion was merely providing you with evidence.” Qingyan said with difficulty, “Therefore, I will definitely be the one to make up for these losses!”
Qingyan directly stated her problem, and Tulichen had no choice but to silently calculate the time and give Qingyan a timeframe.
"Little darling, Father will make it up to you. Linglong Pavilion is temporarily not accepting orders!" Lady Yin Genjueluo felt sorry for Qingyan. She used to give discounts when ordering headdresses for her sisters-in-law, but now, the Eighth Prince Consort was trying to fool her with such silver notes.
Qingyan nodded in frustration; this problem was far too thorny.
"Tulichen, you must investigate whether the silver notes used to purchase goods from the military port were genuine!" Yin believed that his family could still conceal the fact that they had been taken advantage of, but if the merchants outside had a handle on them and filed a complaint with the emperor, the royal family would truly lose face.
"This servant has already sent people to investigate. These silver notes must have been manufactured recently, and two shops received them recently!" Tu Lichen was in a low mood. If the investigation revealed a problem, how would His Majesty handle it?
Yin and Yin exchanged a glance. If the silver notes were fake, this joke would be really out of control.
"To prevent it from being fake, Madam, let's take out an equivalent amount of money from the silver notes we brought from the naval port. If we find it's fake, we can exchange the silver notes during the night's investigation. It's better for us to suffer a loss than to lose face in public." Yin thought to himself.
"Understood!" Yin Genjue Luo looked at Yin Yiwo, asking him to recall exactly how much silver he had.
"Sister-in-law, it's a total of 20,000 taels of silver, all for buying winter provisions!" I, Yinyi, still know a bit about the military port.
When the Eighth Prince's wife heard that Lady Yin Genjueluo and Qingyan were managing the accounts of the military port, she also made a request that she must manage the accounts.
